Review of 1408 (2007) by Alan V — 14 Oct 2013
"1408" has some decent scares but was more of a thriller. John Cusack was okay early in the film as an author going through the motions of pushing his latest book. His skepticism about haunted houses, gleaned from his uneventful stays in them on past reader recommendations, flies in the face of the source of his income as someone who writes about haunted houses.
The movie builds up the suspense helped along by Samuel Jackson's performance. Cusack became less convincing once he became isolated in Room 1408 when the supposed scares were to begin.
